SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Endeavour OS
KDE Plasma: 6.0.1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I got it working:
installing
yay -Syyuu xbindkeys --needed --noconfirm && yay -Scc --noconfirm
loading default conf
xbindkeys --defaults > $HOME/.xbindkeysrc
(then uncommenting all existing values)
checking key button pressing values
xbindkeys --multikey
into file $HOME/.xbindkeysrc can be written:
qdbus6 is in KDE 6 but earlier has qdbus
# Zoom in
"qdbus6 org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_zoom_in""
m:0x18 + c:133 + b:4 # ALT-key
# m:0x50 + c:133 + b:4 # Super-key
# m:0x11 + c:133 + b:4 # SHIFT-key
# m:0x10 + c:133 + b:4 # x-key
# m:0x90 + c:133 + b:4 # ALTGr-key
# m:0x14 + c:133 + b:4 # CTRL-key
# Zoom out
"qdbus6 org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_zoom_out""
m:0x18 + c:133 + b:5 # ALT-key
# m:0x50 + c:133 + b:5 # Super-key
# m:0x11 + c:133 + b:5 # SHIFT-key
# m:0x10 + c:133 + b:5 # x-key
# m:0x90 + c:133 + b:5 # ALTGr-key
# m:0x14 + c:133 + b:5 # CTRL-key
# comment existing lines and paste above and uncomment desired key
# then restart app:
# killall xbindkeys && xbindkeys &
# and you can use new defined keys with mouse
Proposal:
in KDE Settings there in GUI app could be an option to zoom dynamically with
mouse wheel scroll by holding down additional keyboard button (key). Then there
could be pull-down menu to choose what keyboard key could be used together with
mouse wheel scroll. Currently only keyboard keys can be defined but mouse
cannot be used to configure desktop zoom. But dynamic zoom is usable with mouse
wheel scroll. E.g. CTRL+mouse wheel scroll will zoom in/out in apps (web
browser, office suite, terminal, text editor, etc).
This should work with both kwin_x11 and kwin_wayland.
